How To Install Tp_smapi And Acpi_call Kernel Modules

Hello,

I’ve got a Thinkpad T420 and would like to use full tlp functionality. Therefore I need the kernel module tp_smapi and acpi_call.

Have a look right here:
http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-linux-advanced-power-management.html#installation There are only fedora related packages but none for RHEL/CentOS.

Should I install that repo and hardcode the mirror to the fc21 repo?

Regards Tim

  • … Fedora 20 and 21

    TLP packages are available from the official Fedora repositories:

    tlp (Updates) – Power saving
    tlp-rdw (Updates) – optional, Radio Device Wizard

    Install the above packages with the command (in a root shell):
    yum install tlp tlp-rdw

    Note: packages for RHEL/CentOS are available from EPEL6/7 repositories.

  • Thanks for your answer.

    tlp and tlp-rdw are already installed from epel. But these packages miss that kernel modules. So when I want these I have to add the repo and replace $release in the mirror url with 21 of fedora, right?

  • No, the kernel modules must be compiled for the CentOS kernel. Installing from a Fedora repository will not work.

    I would suggest you talk to the folks at EPEL on their mailing list.
